EghtesadOnline: Italy’s service center and trader company Eusider says it has signed a long-term agency agreement with the biggest ferrosilicon producer in Iran.

EghtesadOnline: Ferrosilicon production is an integral part of the steel industry and its downstream sectors. Iran is currently producing nearly enough of the raw material to feeds its furnaces, but the ambitious expansion plan it follows will require more and more of the alloy in the next few years.
